    IE11 -- buggy as hell?

    Been using it for a long time, never an issue, no more or less than any other browser that is. They all have quirks. I would say turn off ActiveX filtering though, that seems too mess up some sites. Part of the issue is lousy web coders that see "Oh it's i.e." and slap all the workarounds for...

    Pay by phone

    Of course they will need to make sure all the bits for PCI compliance are covered. Digit captures, encryption, not storing of CCV numbers etc Robert Wilensky: We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare.

    Browser page won't load on opening?

    Try changing the DNS settings on the PC to Google's (or someone elses) to see if this resolves it: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Robert Wilensky: We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the...

    Opinions on smallish hosted/cloud-based PBX?

    The question is, other than the latested buzz word is why cloud? What do you hope to achieve? Are your users very mobile or desk based? What can cloud over on-prem offer you? What are the risks you looking at when choosing either? Cloud can be good if you want are very mobile or you are...

    Outlook vs Mail Windows 8 w/Office Home and Student

    I'd be interested to know if you use dual screens. The only reason I ask is I currently have 9 apps ops that I can flick between and to access the "start menu", I hit the windows key and not use the mouse. When you use dual screen of course you can pull up the "new" start while still having the...

    I hate using XP / 7 now. Much of it makes now sense now. Have a common used web page > Pin to start. Want a run command / powershell? Right click on "start" button and there it is Stick most used programs in the left hand side of start, hit windows key and bang there it is. Need a little used...

    Losing DNS Settings

    The fact it gets applied later in the day could suggest it to be a GPO. Check out the machines settings after it happens: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd197486%28v=ws.10%29.aspx Robert Wilensky: We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will...

    The OEM machine will take a retail DVD, but your license key will not activate the install. You need a Retail license. See if PC decrapifer list your model and run that post install. As for 8 to 8.1, I'm sure you can still do it...

    Legal hold music?

    Let me clarify the law (for most countries). You have: Mechanical Copyright Writers copyright Names will change, time scales will change but the general rules apply. Writers: This is what it says. This will expire after X years. This is, in your example, when the composer has died or the song...

    newbie to SIP, voip etc

    PS have had plenty of rows with "pros" that can't grasp the fact a CODEC is not a Protocol. Some even think SIP is a telephony protocol ;-) Robert Wilensky: We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now...

    How to have control on installing Windows updates - is there a way to have one by one update install

    My rule. Do Service packs 1st, then internet exploerer version update. The the rest. No point patching ie8 if your going to put on 9 or 10 anyway.

    What is better, SIP Trunk or E1 ISDN PRI?

    Just to add to this, one MASSIVE advantage of SIP is it's not locations specific, you can have a single number and (dependant on carrier) have it not just it in country, but throughout the world. We have multiple different UK numbers that terminate in another parts of Europe, and on the same...

    SIP Phones and dialing

    Have to agree with the above, Aastra phones and Audiocodes gateways also use dial plans similar to above. Sometimes if you can grab a config of a phone, you can see this. I'd say use Notepad++ instead of notepad to look at them as it formats a lot better. I believe any SIP phone that is...
